जनि डरपहु मुनि सिद्ध सुरेसा । तुम्हहिँ लागि धरिहउँ नर-बेसा ॥
अंसन्ह सहित मनुज अवतारा । लेहउँ दिनकर-बंस उदारा ॥
jani ḍarapahu muni siddha suresā | tumhahim̐ lāgi dharihaum̐ nara-besā ||
aṃsanha sahita manuja avatārā | lehaum̐ dinakara-baṃsa udārā ||

What happens in this chapter
The voice from the sky promises the avatara
The voice from the sky says: fear not, munis, siddhas and Indra. For your sake I will take human form with My portions in the noble line of the Sun. Kashyapa and Aditi once did great tapas and won a boon from Me; they are now Dasharatha and Kausalya of Koshala. In their house I will come as four brothers. I will make Narada's words true and descend with My supreme Shakti, and I will lift the whole burden of the Earth. The devas return with cooled hearts and Brahma comforts the Earth. Before leaving he tells the devas to take birth on earth as vanaras and serve the feet of Hari.
कस्यप अदिति महा तप कीन्हा । तिन्ह कहँ मैँ पूरब बर दीन्हा ॥
ते दसरथ-कौसल्या रूपा । कोसलपुरीं प्रगट नर-भूपा ॥
kasyapa aditi mahā tapa kīnhā | tinha kaham̐ maim̐ pūraba bara dīnhā ||
te dasaratha-kausalyā rūpā | kosalapurīṃ pragaṭa nara-bhūpā ||
तिन्ह के गृह अवतरिहउँ जाई । रघुकुल तिलक सो चारिउ भाई ॥
नारद बचन सत्य सब करिहउँ । परम सक्ति समेत अवतरिहउँ ॥
tinha ke gṛha avatarihaum̐ jāī | raghukula tilaka so cāriu bhāī ||
nārada bacana satya saba karihaum̐ | parama sakti sameta avatarihaum̐ ||
हरिहउँ सकल भूमि गरुआई । निर्भय होहु देव समुदाई ॥
गगन ब्रह्म-बानी सुनि काना । तुरत फिरे सुर हृदय जुड़ाना ॥
harihaum̐ sakala bhūmi garuāī | nirbhaya hohu deva samudāī ||
gagana brahma-bānī suni kānā | turata phire sura hṛdaya jur̤ānā ||
तब ब्रह्मा धरनिहि समुझावा । अभय भई भरोस जियँ आवा ॥
taba brahmā dharanihi samujhāvā | abhaya bhaī bharosa jiyam̐ āvā ||
निज लोकहि बिरज्चि गे, देवन्ह इहइ सिखाइ ।
बानर-तनु धरि धरि महि, हरि-पद सेवहु जाइ ॥
nija lokahi birajci ge, devanha ihai sikhāi |
bānara-tanu dhari dhari mahi, hari-pada sevahu jāi ||
